			Eucalyptus globulus is widely cultivated for its timber and as an ornamental tree. It is also grown for its essential oil, which is used in [[aromatherapy]] and as a natural insect repellent.

	==Ecological Impact==		==Ecological Impact==
	~~While ''~~Eucalyptus globulus~~'' provides economic benefits~~, ~~its introduction outside its native range has led to ecological concerns.

'''Eucalyptus globulus''', commonly known as the [[Tasmanian blue gum]], is a species of tall, evergreen tree endemic to southeastern Australia. It has rough, fibrous bark on the trunk and branches, usually smooth greyish bark, glossy green, lance-shaped to curved adult leaves, flower buds in groups of seven, white flowers and hemispherical fruit.

== Taxonomy ==
The species was first formally described by the French botanist [[Jacques Labillardière]] in his 1800 work, ''Relation du Voyage à la Recherche de la Pérouse''. The specific epithet (''globulus'') is derived from the Latin ''globulus'', a little button or small sphere, referring to the shape of the operculum.

== Description ==
'''Eucalyptus globulus''' is a tree that typically grows to a height of 45 m (148 ft) but can reach 90 m (300 ft). Young plants and coppice regrowth have sessile leaves arranged in opposite pairs, lance-shaped to egg-shaped, up to 150 mm (5.9 in) long and 70 mm (2.8 in) wide. Adult leaves are arranged alternately, the same glossy green on both sides, lance-shaped to curved, 150–300 mm (5.9–11.8 in) long and 17–30 mm (0.67–1.18 in) wide on a petiole 15–35 mm (0.59–1.38 in) long.

== Distribution and habitat ==
'''Eucalyptus globulus''' is native to the state of [[Tasmania]], Australia. It is found on subalpine areas where it is dominant in wet forests and rainforests on fertile soils in cool humid climates.

== Uses ==
The tree's leaves are steam distilled to extract [[Eucalyptus oil]]. E. globulus is the primary source of global eucalyptus oil production, with China being the largest commercial producer. The oil has therapeutic, perfumery, flavoring, antimicrobial and biopesticide properties.

== Conservation ==
The species is considered to be of least concern according to the [[International Union for Conservation of Nature]] (IUCN).
